2 College appeals to more people than ever before. What awaits these graduates? Will the workplace pay? College at work: Outlook and for college graduates, by Arlene Dohm and Ian Wyatt When it comes to work, having a college is one of the best ways to gain and maintain a competitive edge. On average, college graduates enjoy advantages ranging from more job opportunities to better salaries over their non-college-educated counterparts. A college does not guarantee that workers will find their dream job, but it does help prepare them for career pursuits. And the goal of career preparation is at least part of the reason that more than 1 million students earned their bachelor s s in What are the job prospects for these college graduates? This article considers that question by presenting an overview of the job market for college graduates. The first section examines education and employment data, reasons for attending college, and data. The second section describes the background for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publication of the outlook for college graduates, including information about why this article differs markedly from those of years past; projects the number of job openings in s that employ the largest numbers of college graduates; and compares growth in these jobs with the projected average employment growth for all s. A final section points up sources for further research. Arlene Dohm and Ian Wyatt are economists in the Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections, BLS, (202) and (202) , respectively. For purposes of this article, the term college refers to any bachelor s or higher : master s, including master of business administration; professional, such as law; and doctor of philosophy, or Ph.D. Data are examined by workers highest levels of educational attainment from high school diploma to Ph.D. College in career planning People attend college for many reasons. Some of those reasons are personal the quest for self-improvement, perhaps while others are universal, tied to a desire to enter s in which a college may be preferred or even required for workers. Although it is impossible to discern each student s motivation for going to college, one thing is certain: more individuals are earning their s. And as a career-planning tool, those s have some quantifiable benefits, the most measurable of which are. More people have college s Over the last several decades, there has been an increase in the proportion of people earning a. This increase is particularly striking in recent years for those aged 25 to 34. (See chart 1.) Overall for people in this age group, Census Bureau data show that the proportion completing 4 or more years of college grew from 23 percent in 1992 to 29 percent in College-educated workers are even more prevalent. Occupational Outlook Quarterly Fall

3 Chart 1 Population completing 4 or more years of college, Aged 25 to 34 Aged 25 and older Data show that during that same 8-year period, the proportion of the workforce with college s increased from 25 percent to 28 percent. Among workers 25 to 34 years old, the proportion rose from 26 percent to 33 percent. A base year of 1992 is used because it was the first year in which the Current Population Survey collected educational attainment data based on the highest earned; prior to 1992, educational attainment data reflected only the number of years of schooling completed. Within the college-educated workforce, immigrants are a significant presence. In 2000, foreign-born college graduates made up 12 percent of the college-graduate labor force. Current Population Survey data show that among immigrants aged 25 to 34 who entered this country between 1996 and 2000 and are in the labor force, 38 percent have a college, including 16 percent with an advanced. In contrast, 32 percent of U.S.-born workers aged 25 to 34 have a college, including 7 percent with an advanced. At any given time, a portion of college graduates is unavailable to fill jobs. These college graduates ones who are neither working nor looking for work are, by definition, not in the labor force. In 2000, the civilian labor force participation rate of individuals aged 25 to 34 with a college was 89 percent which means another 11 percent of college graduates in that age group were not in the labor force. Some go to graduate school without taking a supplemental job. Others stay home to raise a family. Still others enter the military. For most college graduates, their time out of the labor force is usually temporary; most will work for much of their lives. Benefits of a college For most people, pursuing a college is both time consuming and expensive. But in the end, college graduates usually see a return on their investments of time and money. Students working toward a are likely to set their sights on the long-term payoffs which include more career options, better promotion opportunities, higher, and lower unemployment that a college education provides. More career options. Many s may be classified as college preferred that is, a college is helpful, but not mandatory, in obtaining the job. But there are a number of s that only a college graduate can hold. Some may require several years of additional education beyond a bachelor s, leading to a graduate or professional, and a license to practice. Among the largest of these are health diagnosing and treating s, including physicians, dentists, and veterinarians; teachers and faculty; and lawyers. College-preferred s do not necessarily specify a preference for field of study. As a result, college graduates career options include entering s unrelated to their major. A 1997 survey by the U.S. Department of Education s National Center for Education Statistics found that, 4 years after obtaining a bachelor s, 55 percent of graduates were in jobs related to their major field of study. Social sciences majors had the lowest proportion, 33 percent, of jobs related to their field of study. In contrast, 82 percent of those who majored in the rapidly growing health-related fields held jobs related to their major. (For more information on the survey, see Four years after graduation: The class of 1993, in the Winter Occupational Outlook Quarterly, also available online at winter/art02.pdf.) Better promotion opportunities. Job promotions usually are based on workers motivation, quality of work, and ability to get along with others. But supervisors often interpret having a college as a sign that workers are serious about the job, know how to learn, and can achieve goals. Supervisors considering candidates for promotion may look more favorably upon those who have a college than on those who do not have one. For example, in 2000, 24 percent of supervisors in administrative support and clerical s had a college, even though college graduates are only 14 percent of the workers in this al group as a whole. Similarly, 32 percent of supervisory police and detectives in 2000 held a college, despite college graduates being 21 percent of nonsupervisory police and detectives. Higher. The ability to earn a high salary over a 4 Occupational Outlook Quarterly Fall 2002

4 lifetime is one of the most compelling reasons to earn a. Among the top 25 percent of full-time wage and salary earners in 2000, 58 percent had a college. The median weekly of workers aged 25 to 64 with a bachelor s was $834, compared with $507 for workers whose highest level of educational attainment was a high school diploma or equivalent. Earnings increased for those with advanced s. But not all college graduates earn high salaries; in fact, 17 percent of these bachelor s holders earned less than the median for all high school graduates in Nevertheless, data show that most college graduates earn more than workers whose highest level of educational attainment is a high school diploma. The following tabulation shows the 2000 median weekly of workers aged 25 to 64 by highest level of educational attainment and the proportions of those workers who earned less than the median for high school graduates: weekly, 2000 Education level High school diploma or equivalent $ 507 Bachelor s Master s Professional 1,174 9 Doctoral 1,214 6 Percent who earned less than the median for high school graduates The link between and education is discussed in more detail below, in the section Earnings: Higher by. (And for a look at the increase in estimated lifetime by educational attainment, see the OOChart in this issue of the Quarterly.) Lower unemployment. The chances of having a job are better for those with a college than for those without one and the unemployment rate is lower for those with more education. As chart 2 shows, the unemployment rate in 2000 was 3.5 percent for workers aged 25 and over whose highest level of educational attainment was a high school diploma, compared with less than 1 percent for those who had either a professional or doctoral. Earnings: Higher by Earnings are an indicator of the demand for college graduates because wages tend to increase fastest for workers in greatest demand. And between 1992 and 2000, real median adjusted for inflation rose 6 percent for full-time wage and salary workers aged 25 to 64 with a bachelor s. In contrast, real increased only 2 percent for their counterparts whose highest level of educational attainment was a high school diploma. More remarkably, wages increased despite a 33-percent increase in the number of college graduates aged 25 to 64 and working full time, far surpassing the 4-percent increase in the number of workers with a high school diploma. At the same time, however, wage increases became less evenly distributed among college graduates. The difference in real weekly between the lowest earning (10th percentile) bachelor s holders and the highest (90th percentile) increased from $1,075 in 1992 to $1,297 in 2000 that translates to nearly $11,500 annually. (See chart 3.) Bachelor s holders in the top 10 percent earned 16 percent more in 2000 than they did in 1992, while for those in the lowest 10 percent increased only 5 percent during the 8-year period. The widening disparity in for all educational groups implies that are determined by factors other than education. These factors include the State and city in which the job is located, how large the company is, and whether the job is in the public sector or private sector. Experience and also affect. The more experience workers have, the higher their usually are.

5 enhances a worker s ability to qualify for promotions and positions of responsibility, leading to higher salaries. And in s in which establishing a client base is required to earn top salaries some sales jobs, for example the longer a worker remains in an, the more lucrative it becomes. Experience contributes to salary variations within s, even those that have high salaries. Engineers weekly in 2000, for example, ranged from at least $1,782 for the top 10 percent to less than $608 for the lowest 10 percent. Chart 4 shows the wide dispersion of within some other s in which most workers hold a college.

6 The level of educational attainment and field of study also affect one s power. Physicians, lawyers, and top executives usually command high salaries, reflecting their extra schooling and responsibilities. And even within an, increase for workers who pursue additional education. For example, as table 1 shows, the median weekly for administrators in education and related fields in 2000 were $764 for those with a bachelor s, $1,105 for those with a master s, and $1,250 for those with a doctoral.

9 Continued from page 7 following section analyzes projected job openings for college graduates between 2000 and The analysis begins with an explanation of how employment projections were created and ends with a discussion of how al changes affect the job outlook for college graduates. Background The Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections of BLS develops employment projections for hundreds of detailed s. These projections are used in a variety of al studies, including these analyses of the job outlook for college graduates.

10 analysis was published in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly in 1968, and updates have appeared nearly biennially since then. Past articles projected whether there would be an imbalance between the supply of and demand for college graduates in the workforce over the projections period. However, the method used in recent years for projecting the number of job openings for college graduates is no longer feasible. Recent changes in al definitions resulted in a break in historical continuity. The latest employment projections, which cover the decade, were developed using the Federal Government s 2000 Standard Occupational Classification System. The 1990 census-based Current Population Survey, the source of data on educational attainment, has not yet converted to this new al classification system. Thus, comparable data on the proportions of s usually filled by college graduates the basis for analyzing the demand for college graduates no longer exist for all s. (See box at right.) Another factor complicating the analysis of the collegegraduate outlook is the ever-changing notion of which jobs require a college. Many s previously considered to require that all workers have a college included significant proportions of workers whose highest levels of educational attainment are an associate or, in some cases, a high school diploma. Few s actually require that all workers have a college to perform their duties. Instead, many s now are categorized as college preferred. BLS will continue to reevaluate its method of assessing the outlook for college graduates in the future. Projected job openings for college graduates Over the next decade, the availability of jobs for college graduates will depend both on employment growth in s that usually are filled by college graduates and on the need to replace college graduates who permanently leave an. Job growth. BLS projects that overall employment will grow 15 percent between 2000 and 2010, resulting in 22 million new jobs. Much of this growth is projected to be in s in which large numbers of college graduates are employed. Among major al groups, the professional and related s group is projected to increase its relative share of employment by This group is projected to grow faster (26 percent) and add more workers (7 million) than any other group. About 80 percent of its workers aged 25 to 34 are college graduates, and nearly half Comparison of al classification systems The following box compares the major al groups that compose two al classification systems the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the Standard Occupational Classification System (SOC). In this article, data on educational attainment are based on the CPS, and data on employment and job openings are based on the SOC.

11 of all graduates are employed in this group. Occupations employing primarily college graduates are projected to be among the fastest growing in the Nation. Table 2 shows projected job growth in s in which college graduates make up at least 50 percent of the workforce. These s employ at least 50,000 workers and are reasonably comparable between the two al classification systems the Standard Occupational Classification System and the Current Population Survey permitting an s growth rate to be associated with its workers educational attainment. Of the 43 s in the table, percent are projected to grow faster than the 15-percent increase projected for all s through Replacement needs. The most significant source of demand for all workers, including college graduates, over the next decade will come not from job growth but from net replacement needs: the need to replace workers who permanently leave their s. For all education levels, job openings from replacement needs are projected to total 35 million between 2000 and percent more than the job openings resulting from employment growth.

12 openings from replacement needs are projected to be in s in which a significant proportion of workers has a college. Millions of older workers, including a high proportion of baby boomers with college s, are expected to retire by 2010, leaving a large number of job vacancies to be filled by college graduates. For example, educators were hired in large numbers in the 1960s and 1970s to teach the baby boomers, and many of these educators will be eligible to retire over the decade. (For an article about baby-boom retirements and job openings based on the previous set of employment projections, 1998 to 2008, see Gauging the labor force effects of retiring baby boomers, in the July 2000 Monthly Labor Review, also available online at mlr/2000/07/art2full.pdf.) Growth and replacement: A summary. Projected job openings for college graduates may be summarized by examining the two major al groups that employ the most college graduates management, business, and financial s and professional and related s. In 2000, 72 percent of all college graduates were employed in these two groups, making the employment projections for these groups critical to the overall job outlook for college graduates. To determine the potential number of job openings for college graduates in each of these two al groups, BLS analysts multiplied the proportion of the group s 25- to 34-year-old workers with a in 2000 those most recently hired by the total number of openings expected from growth and net replacement needs in the group between 2000 and The following tabulation shows the results of these calculations in managerial and professional s: Occupational group Total job openings due to growth and net replacements, projected Proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds with college in al group Potential job openings for college graduates Management, business, and financial s 5,109, ,886,600 Professional and related s 12,160, ,910,400 The potential number of job openings for college graduates in these two groups is nearly 13 million, which represents 22 percent of the 58 million job openings stemming from employment growth and net replacement needs projected for the entire economy over the decade. This number may well be an underestimate because the calculation assumes that the proportion of college graduates in each al group remains constant and it is reasonable to expect that, given the increase in educational attainment in recent years, the proportion of graduates will rise in each of these groups. These 13 million potential job openings exclude college graduates in some increasingly college-preferred s, particularly sales. With about 37 percent of 25- to 34- year-old college graduates holding jobs in this category, sales is becoming a career choice for many college graduates, especially in the business and financial, advertising, and technology fields. However, most sales workers are employed in retail and services jobs that are filled by relatively few college graduates. College in the workforce: Educational upgrading Between 1992 and 2000, the number of full-time wage and salary workers with a college increased 33 percent. In response to this growing availability of college graduates, their proportions in many s are growing. But some s have experienced greater than average increases in college graduates, signifying either employer preferences or changes in those s. This increasing level of educational attainment in specific s is called educational upgrading. Educational upgrading has been particularly noticeable in the health and protective service s and in s that usually are considered desirable and well paid, such as airline pilot and flight attendant. Flight attendant, for example, is an that offers relatively high salaries and popular benefits, such as travel and the opportunity to experience other cultures. College graduates, especially younger ones, are attracted to the : in 2000, 44 percent of flight attendants aged 25 to 34 held a bachelor s. This compares with 28 percent of all flight attendants with a college. There are many reasons for educational upgrading, including the need for more highly skilled workers to compete in an increasingly complex global economy. Growing competition has forced companies to emphasize sales and customer service and, thus, to seek employees with strong communication skills. Employers often feel that, compared to non-college-educated workers, college graduates are more motivated, learn tasks more quickly, are better able to meet deadlines, and have better problemsolving and Occupational Outlook Quarterly Fall

And because many cost-conscious employers have limited the amount of training they offer, they prefer to hire more-educated workers who can assume greater responsibility sooner. As a result, college graduates are increasingly employers first choice. Table 3 shows the change in the proportion of 25- to 34- year-old college graduates within major al groups and selected detailed s that either experienced significant educational upgrading between 1992 and 2000 or are key s in the group. Percentages may be slightly underestimated, particularly with respect to the proportion of workers with an advanced, because although only 11 percent of undergraduates are over 35 years old, 33 percent of people attending graduate school are over age 35. Data do not indicate whether students are seeking a or are taking courses but are not in a program. The proportion of 25- to 34-year-old workers with a college increased for all major al groups except private household workers. In addition, the three major al groups with the largest proportions of young college graduates executive, administrative, and managerial; professional specialty; and sales also had the greatest proportional growth in employment between 1992 and The sharpest increases in educational upgrading, however, were in other categories, such as farm operators and managers and protective service s. As Table 3 also shows, the proportion of 25- to 34-yearolds with an advanced also increased from 1992 to 2000, particularly among health assessment and treating s in fact, the 20 percentage-point increase in advanced- attainment for therapists is the largest of all the s in the table. Conclusions and further study As this article has discussed, college graduates rising wages and growing numbers of available jobs are evidence of their demand in the workforce. How might labor markets react to this increasing demand? One possibility is that real wages for college graduates may continue to increase over the next decade. As compensation for those with a college continues to rise, more high school students might choose to go to college, and college graduates might select careers in which wages are increasing the fastest. Also, depending on in other s, college graduates working in jobs that generally are not filled by college graduates might transfer into higher paying s that are college preferred. Employers might also adjust their hiring strategies, with some deciding to hire and provide training to workers whose highest level of educational attainment is less than a bachelor s. It is important to remember that individual job prospects depend on openings in a specific not on the overall number of jobs available to all college graduates. Projections vary by, and this article presents information about job openings and for a number of specific s employing significant numbers of college graduates. To learn more about s that are college preferred or that require a college, visit your local library or career counselor s office. Among the references to look for is the Occupational Outlook Handbook, Edition (BLS Bulletin 2540), which includes training requirements as part of the description for hundreds of s. The Handbook is also available online at Another way to learn about s is to attend job fairs and arrange informational interviews. Job fairs showcase employers seeking qualified job candidates, often those who have a college ; informational interviews allow jobseekers to learn about specific s by interviewing workers in those s. Both subjects are explored in recent Occupational Outlook Quarterly articles: job fairs as part of Employment interviewing: Seizing the opportunity and the job (Summer 2000) and informational interviews in Informational interviewing: Get the inside scoop on careers (Spring 2002). Other Quarterly articles of interest to college students and graduates range from résumés and cover letters (Summer 1999) to distance learning (Summer 2001). Many of these articles are available as reprints or online at In addition to the Handbook and the Quarterly, BLS has other career-related resources. For career information from an industry perspective, see the Career Guide to Industries, Edition (BLS Bulletin 2541), also available online at The November 2001 issue of the Monthly Labor Review is devoted to the Bureau s projections of the U.S. economy, labor force, industry employment, and al employment.
